22 The diagram shows a sphere of diameter \(x\) cm and a pyramid \(ABCDE\) with a horizontal rectangular base \(BCDE\).

Sphere with diameter x cm, and pyramid ABCDE with rectangular base BCDE where BC = x cm and CD = 2x cm; A is vertically above the centre O of the base with AO = 5x cm

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

The vertex \(A\) of the pyramid is vertically above the centre \(O\) of the base so that \(AB = AC = AD = AE\).

\(BC = x\) cm, \(CD = 2x\) cm and \(AO = 5x\) cm.

The volume of the sphere is \(288\pi\) cm3

Calculate the total surface area of the pyramid.
Give your answer correct to the nearest cm2
